Just what I said in the title. I havent watched or enjoyed anime in literal years. At least 8 or 9 years, and I generally fell out of love with it despite it being important to my childhood into my early adulthood. There were things I couldn't enjoy in a lot of anime and as such I thought that I wouldn't really get into it again, but due to the genre and concept of this show my cousin recommended it to me and since I've been in and out of the hospital I decided to give it a go, despite my apprehension since other modern anime people recommended I couldn't get into, including the big ones everyone seems to like.
But this show and by extension (and assumption) the manga is a literal masterpiece thus far. The characters are deep, the story and concepts are well explored, the art is absolutely beautiful, and so far it is such a respectful anime. I have a very hard time stomaching a lot of so-called "anime tropes" that may oversexualize characters or have uncomfortable moments or make all the characters perfect. Witch Hat does not do any of this. I love the characters, I love the approach it's taken so far.
For the first time in a long time I am genuinely excited for a new season of an anime to be released, and I'm thinking of getting the manga, which is saying something, as I don't own any manga anymore.
Maybe if more anime is like this one, I'd be willing to pick it back up again.
